When concrete/emotional/outlandish statements are made and the author is unable to justify them with rationale thought, then it is not an issue of group think or ganging up, but a question of a poorly presented argument.

I hate to back ricardodw on anything but there is some truth to his comment. Having a contrary opinion is not always received well here. If you have an idea or opinion that is not part of the groupthink you leave yourself open to a lot of ridicule, even if your perspective plays out in the long run. This past season was a good example. I stated my displeasure with Wideman, Hiller, Bollig and Hartley early on in the season and took a lot of abuse for it. It just took time for people to see what I was observing and by the end of the season there were a lot of similar comments to what I had made at the start of the season. It can be tough to have a different opinion, especially when it comes to favorite players.
Having said that, ricardowdw is a different story. His post and thinking are so bizarre, and never come to fruition, that he is easy to take as trolling or posting for effect. I don't think he should be playing the victim card here as he works awfully hard to have a contrary view on pretty well every issue. Get down off the cross ricardowdw, it doesn't fit you.
